Find 2-way match using eMatchmaker

Over time it became evident to us that the key to providing an effective and pleasant matchmaking service would be to develop technology that would give people complete control. Instead of simply recommending people to each other based on common interests we decided to let people decide who their ideal life partners would be. Our endeavor resulted in a world-class technology that offers the flexibility to identify potential matches based on your idea of an ideal life partner. What we have tried to do is to make available the largest number of matches based on the kind of matchmaking technique that you choose.

You can choose matches →

who have interests in common with you

based on people looking for somebody like you

based on people you are looking for

who are very different from you

from outside your community

only from your city

only from your religion

only people who have never been married before

In fact, you can choose a 2-Way Match using eMatchMaker (A Shaadi.com Exclusive) i.e. If you meet somebody’s criteria of an ideal life partner and they meet your criteria, it is a 2-Way Match.

Besides helping us develop a superior service, our research has also shaped our vision and mission which together set our future goals and direction.

6 Cs of happy marriages →

Years of experience and research has taught us that marriage, much like life, is not that simple. It involves two people, their personalities, their desires, their emotions, and their psychology. Marriage, we learned is an institution with unlimited variables, that cannot simply be formulated into a software application. A successful marriage requires a mix of Compatibility, Chemistry, Commitment, Community, Communication and Compassion.

Compatibility - A set of interests and values that establishes a common ground between two people

Chemistry - Indefinable attributes that make two people 'click' with each other

Commitment - An explicit and implicit understanding that both partners are dedicated to making the relationship work

Community - A network of family and friends to support and nurture the relationship

Communication - An effort to express feelings and share experiences with each other

Compassion - A human quality that becomes all the more important for developing a successful relationship

Our findings indicate that different people give different weightage to the above factors in their description of an ideal life partner and consequently they are looking for different things in an ideal match making solution.

So, while somebody thinks - The most important thing to me is to be able to set filters so that I only meet people that I am interested in. Why should I have to deal with somebody I am clear I do not wish to marry', others are of the opinion that - 'I am simply exploring whether I am ready to get married. I think I am but I will only truly know when I meet the 'right' person. So, for me I want a service where I can meet a large number of diverse people'.

A person in Mumbai 'wants to meet someone who has a lot in common with them' while somebody in Chennai 'would rather marry somebody who is exactly the opposite'. A girl in New York told us that 'two diverse people form a greater whole' while a gentleman in London indicated that 'common interests are the key to compatibility'.

At Shaadi.com we are constantly applying new learnings in this area to enable our members in taking the first step towards a successful marriage.

True Stories

The responses that I got, made me realize that I should have tried this a long time ago...

Specially after i added my photo... in the beginning, I didn't want to put it up on a website. But it seemed safe on shaadi.com since I was given a password to keep it hidden until I was sure the person was serious about marriage. Then I received Karan's mail. We both clicked right away and got engaged on 12 Aug...

Unknown to me, my special someone was just a few blocks away...

I didn't have to travel the world to find Mr Right. He was almost around the corner and I didn't even know till I checked out his profile! Now Aniket and I have known each other for few months and soon we will be inseparable.

With my busy schedule this is certainly the best way to find someone to share my life.

Though I tried for a suitable match through family connections and many newspaper ads, I finally found Yogita through your site. Last month we met through shaadi.com and the alliance has been fixed. I thank you & the shaadi.com team for helping me in finding a happy match

- Ashok Mehta, 29, MBBS

FAST, EFFECTIVE

Shaadi.com gives you not only more choice, but also the power to communicate both ways: Contact & be contacted!

We chatted for months and decided to go ahead before his parents spoke to my father.

By then we felt like we've known each other for ages. For a successful match-making and a happy marriage, both partners should get the opportunity to communicate effectively and set the expectations right before making a decision. We (Me and Sachin) think that, shaadi.com is a great matchmaking site.

USEFUL TOOLS

Thanks to Shaadi.com's secure Email and Chat facility, you can communicate and discuss matters confidentially.

Looked all over the world, but I found my man in Essex.

Within a month of adding my profile to Shaadi.com, I had so many great proposals I dint know how to choose. So when I read Ashfaq's email I wasn’t sure how to respond. We decided to meet up the next time he came to London and we soon knew we were perfect for each other!

- Yasmin, 28, Investment Banker

GENUINE PEOPLE

Shaadi.com's strict screening methods ensure that you interact only with those who are serious about marriage.

We found a match for my sister who lives in LA sitting here in Bangalore.

My sister is very fussy, and I knew she would only agree to someone she clicked with... and that too, with a permanent citizenship. Luckily, I had put her profile on Shaadi.com and found 2 LA based Indians that she liked. She's chosen Jayraj and they plan to get married by year end ...

- Indra Kumar, 33, Research Analyst

GLOBAL REACH

With millions of members spread across all communities, religions, and languages you'll never run short of choices.

I was unsure about the kind of peopleI would find online... till I came here.

The quality of the proposals was a pleasant surprise.. these were guys who were really serious about marriage. Though I received several decent proposals and met some of them, it clicked for me when I met Sudeep on your site. He was working in Boston while I was with my parents in
Pune.
